Big questions that many firearms enthusiasts in Canada have are why are some firearms restricted or prohibited.

Canadian Firearms Saftey Course

To begin there are three basic legal classes of firearms non-restricted, restricted and prohibited. Simple definitions for them are generally granted as:

Non-restricted – Rifles and shotguns.

Restricted – Handgun

Prohibited – fully automatic or select fire, short barrelled firearms, firearms that are to small over all and so one.

This being said many models of firearms do not fall into the classification they would on first glance appear to be in. In brief the section of law that changes many of these firearms classifications is “Part 3. Section 15.”. Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons. Although this will not answer the question as to why they are in the class they are it will allow you to see a list of these firearms and other items which have been prescribed by order and counsel to be restricted or prohibited.
